As the saying goes: it is easy to do things if there is a relationship.

Because Xu Jinian took the lead, Shen Qiushui and his party met the governor very smoothly, and the governor sent the housekeeper around him to lead them to the prefect of the state capital.

The prefect personally went out to greet him.

If someone else wants to go beyond the level and denounce it, you have to take fifty sticks and still be able to stand to get this opportunity.

But there is a relationship with Xu Jinian, and these fifty sticks just mean a few strokes.

"How's it going, does it hurt?" Shen Qiushui hurriedly went to support Mo Changtian.

Mo Changtian shook his head, like a nobody, "It doesn't hurt." ”

Then he leaned into Shen Qiushui's ear and whispered: "It's not really big, it's just scary to look at, and I don't feel it at all." ”

For Xu Jinian, Mo Changtian still understands.

Don't look at Xu Jinian's journey to the north and south in order to detoxify over the years, he has actually cultivated a lot of contacts. This Qingzhou governor and the prime minister are from the same family, and they naturally treat the son of their senior brother preferentially.

Shen Qiushui nodded, a little relieved.

The prefect's court is much more majestic than that in the county town, and the officials here have been uniformly trained, and their every move is very standard.

They came straight to the lobby.

The prefect first asked people to bring chairs and gave Xu Jinian and the governor the seats of their personal butlers.

After the two of them were seated, the prefect asked the official about the fifty boards.

After that, I read the complaint handed over by Shen Qiushui,

According to the law of the dynasty, poisoning others, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, is subject to beheading.

This is just a small case for the prefect, and the human and material evidence are all there, which saves him a lot of things.

Thinking of Xu Jinian's identity, the prefect didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he turned his head to look at Xu Jinian and the governor's housekeeper.

"Lord Wang, this case should be as it should be." Xu Jinian opened his mouth slowly.

This means that he came according to the law.

The prefect thought secretly and nodded quickly.

He was shocked and immediately ordered Lin Sheng to be arrested.

Lin Sheng is a lifter, he can't do it like this, but there is the support of the governor behind this matter, let alone lifting people, even the Qingyun County county order he dared to arrest it directly.

The official errand went on horseback, and even if the speed was fast, it still took a lot of time to come and go.

Six days later, the case was rehearsed.

Lin Sheng, who had been in prison for a night, did not look as energetic as before, and the white clothes on his body were sticky to something, glowing with a faint yellow, and there were even black stains on the corners of his clothes.

Unkempt, so not embarrassed.

To Shen Qiushui's surprise, Tao Ruyi also came.

"No, how could it be Tao Ruyi who came with me, it should be her sister who came, I remember that Lin Sheng married the eldest lady of the Tao family instead of the second young lady."

Tao Ruyi stood aside, his face was light, like an onlooker who had nothing to do with himself.

In fact, it was: she didn't want to come, and this dog didn't know where Lin Sheng had the courage to say that if he didn't see her in court, he would give her out immediately.

The angry Tao Ruyi thought about it.

Something that is not enough to achieve and more than to fail, dares to threaten her, she has never been threatened like this in her life!

"Lin Sheng, there are human and material evidence, what else do you have to say?" In this trial, the prefect has already made up his mind that the reason why he asks this is just a formality.

"My lord, I was wronged!" Lin Shengnai was a person, and he didn't kneel when he saw the official, but when he was questioned like this, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "My lord, I really didn't poison and send people to slaughter Boss Luo's family!" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Boss Luo, who was tied up by five flowers, knelt on the ground, moved his knees forward, and pointed at Lin Sheng's nose and scolded.

"I still have the silver ticket you gave me!"

Lin Sheng was silent, but Boss Luo became more and more excited the more he spoke.

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world, you only bought me with the front foot, and someone immediately came to slaughter my family with the back foot, you said no, how could you not be you?!"

Boss Luo bit on this, trying to get a light attack.

was told by the other party, Lin Sheng's face was blue and white.

"No, I didn't!" Lin Sheng amplified the volume, trying to cover up the fact that he was weak.

He had only shouted two sentences, and he was frightened by the startled voice in the hands of the prefect above.

"No noise in the courtroom."

After calming everyone down, the prefect opened his mouth to inquire about the case, "You said that he hired someone to slaughter your whole family, do you have any evidence?" ”

"I saw it with my own eyes, and now my daughter-in-law and son are in the ground!" Boss Luo replied tremblingly.

The prefect nodded, thinking about whether to directly push Lin Sheng out and behead him, so as to save himself from breaking these.

The prefect fell silent, which made Lin Sheng panic, he was a scholar, so he naturally knew what happened to the prisoner in this kind of case.

He can't die, he hasn't been a high school champion yet, how can he die like this.

He set his eyes on Tao Ruyi, who was standing on the side, with a distress-like gaze.

Tao Ruyi gritted her teeth, turned her head ruthlessly, and she was also very panicked, hating Lin Sheng for having something to do with the killers she hired, in this case, she would have nothing to do.

However, where is Lin Sheng a good person, when the county order picked up the token, Lin Sheng was completely panicked, and he couldn't care too much at the moment, or his life mattered.

"Tao Ruyi, did you hire the killer?!" Lin Sheng asked.

After all, only Tao Ruyi knew the time to arrange poisoning for Boss Luo.

"Don't spray people with blood, how can I have a connection with someone like that!" Tao Ruyi was annoyed and angry, looking at Lin Sheng's posture, he really had to drag her into the case before he would be willing.

Where did she dare to admit this, once she did, she should also become a prisoner.

"It's you, if it weren't for you, how could I have done such a thing in a moment's confusion!" After speaking, he looked up at the prefect again, trying to make the other party fall lightly.

I didn't expect there to be this episode, and the prefect was also interested and retried the case

As a result, Tao Ruyi was charged with the mastermind, instructed people to poison, buy murder, and was punished for both crimes, and was beheaded at noon tomorrow.

Lin Sheng didn't go much better, and he was punished by exile.

Tao Ruyi couldn't accept this result, and punched and kicked the officials who came up to suppress him.

The official is a strong man, where can she shake it, she directly dragged people away, out of the prefect's door, and dragged to the prison next to her.

Along the way, Tao Ruyi struggled hard like a madman, annoyed the official, and slapped the woman, finally quieting the woman, and quickly dragged people to the prison.

What they didn't notice was that when Tao Ruyi was struggling, the jade pendant hanging on his body slipped to the ground and rolled into the corner.

This jade pendant is obtained from Qianjinfang, the jade pendant has no impurities, the color is very good, it is the best jade, not like a simple thing.

Tao Ruyi couldn't put it down, and in order to show off among many noble women, he had developed a habit of hanging on his waist every day.
